DR. HOUSEB DISGUSTED.
Says Some Local Physicians Show
Xack of Judgment.
Dr. J, W. IIouser. who has been en
Bagert bj tho city to look utter tho
mmUlpox capes, Is illsgUHted at whnt he
calls tho lack of Judgment shown by a
number of locul nhynlclans. n0 was
notified on HuwluV that a- suspected
ense of smallpox existed In a MeC'on
nel family, residing in North Bcrnnton.
Investigation yesterday revealed the
fact that no onu In tho family Is suffer
ing from any symptoms which could lie
called preliminary symptoms of that
illM'iise by the wildest distortion of
diagnosis.
"Kvorybody thnt's got a pimple or
two these days seems to think thnt he
or she has got the smallpox," Bald the
doctor lust night, "and they seem to be
encouraged In this belief by physlcluns.
Many doctors, tho moment they see a
little eruption, decide at once, without
further examination, tliut the patient
hnB tho smallpox, and mukc n wild Uusli
for the nearest telephone to let me know
about it und bring me on u two or turea
mile wild goose chase. U'b getting very
tiresome, I assure you."
The doctor said thut no new eas.es of
the dlseuso developed yesterday.

Mrs. D. Arnold, President German
Woman's Club, Grand Pacific Hotel, Los
Angeles, Cal., Relieved of a Tumor by
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
"Dear Mrs. Pinkiiam : I suffered four years ago with a tumor
in my womb, and the doctors declared I must go to the hospital and un
dergo an operation, which I dreaded very much and hesitated to submit.
" My husband consulted an old friend who had studied medicine,
although he was not a practising physician, and he said he believed
that Lydia E. PInklinm's Vegetable Compound would cure
me. That same day I took my first dose, and 1 kept it up faithfully
until twelve bottles had been used, and not only did the tumor dis
appear, but my general health was very much improved and I had
not felt so well since I was a young woman.
" As I have suffered no relapse since, and as I took no other med
icine, I am sure that your Compound restored my health and I believe
saved my life." Mrs. D. Arnold.
$6000 FORFEIT IF THE ABOVE LETTER IS NOT GENUINE.
When women are troubled with irregular, suppressed or painful
menstruation, weakness, leucorrhoea. displacement or ulceration of the
womb, that bearing-down feeling, inflammation of the ovaries, backache,
bloating (or flatulence), general debility, indigestion, and nervous pros
tration, or are beset, with such symptoms us dizziness, faintness, lassitude,
excitability, irritability, nervousness, sleeplessness, melancholy, "all
gone," and "want-to-be-left-alone" feelings, blues, and hopelessness,
they should remember there is one tried and true remedy. Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound at once removes such troubles.
Refuse to buy any other medicine, for you need the best.

A FRESH YOUNG MAN.
He Ban Afoul of Becordei-'s Secre
tary, Mark Edgar.
A breezy and juighly fresh young
man, who gave his name as Stock
bridge, blew into Recorder Connell's
ofHce yesterday morning, and without
asking any questions proceeded to un
screw the cover from the collection box
for tho Consumptives' hospital, In
Philadelphia, and was about to abstract
the money It contained when he was
stopped by Mark Edgar, the recorder's
seeretnrw
He announced that he was taking the
place of the regular collector, who was
111, and showed a letter addressed to the
general secretary of the hospital and
signed by a Mr. McGuIre, tho alleged
local collector, as his uuthorltx. This
didn't satisfy Mr. Kdgur, and he re
fused to allow Mr. Stockbrldge to ttiko
the money. This greatly enraged the
young man and he proceeded to threaten
all manner of dire things.
Tie was finally told that unless Mrs.
AV. n. Duggan, who Installed the boxes
In this city, consented, he could not re
move tin- money In the box. He went
out hurriedly, and Mr. Edgar, believ
ing hltn to be a fakir, notified Detective
Uelter and suggested that he be ar
rested. In the meantime, young Mr.
Stockbrldge convinced Mrs. Duggan of
his authority und was permitted to take
the money fiom tho box. He had previ
ously taken upwards of $30 from other
boxes In the city.
Detective Delter came across him
about noon, Just as he was making for
n train, and took him in charge. He
was taken to headquarters and held for
over an hour, but as Mrs. Duggan ex
pressed u belief In his story he was re
leased. The police ure still inclined a
little to the belief that he Is suspicious.

SUPERIOR COURT AGREES WITH
JUDGE CARPENTER.
Ex-City Assessor, Who Wns Removed
by Recorder Molr, Under tho Pro
visions of the New Second-Class
City Act, Has No Legal Grounds
to Complain Legislature Had Au
thority to Authorize His Removal.
Decision of Judge Edwards In Bas
sett Pond Case Also Affirmed,
The Superior court In Pittsburg, yes
terday, handed down tho following de
cisions: John A. Xculs against the city ot Scranlonj
Judgment affirmed.
II. C. Olhlis and (Iconic (I. (llhbs, admlnUtra
torn of the estate ot I), tt (llbl, deceased,
against DeWIIton Sweet; Judgment olllrmcd.
The case ot Neuls against the city Is
one of the .several cases growing out
of the passage of Scranton from a third
to a second class city.
Tho plaintiff, John A. Neuls, was one
of the three elective city assessors who
had n x'oar yet to serve when the new
second class city net went into ef
fect. Recorder Molr, In appointing five
assessors to take the place of tho
three, provided for In the third class
city laws, left Neuls out. Ho brought
suit against the city, alleging that he
wan n constitutional officer, who could
not bo removed during the term for
which he was elected.
Judge Carpenter, before whom the
case-stated wus tried, ruled, In sub
stance as follows: "A city assessor,
not being a constitutional officer, there
can be no question that tho legislature
may provide for his removal from of
fice." In tho so-called "Ripper bill," It Is
provided that "The city recorder shall
have the right and power and nre here
by authorized to remove from office.
" members of the board of asses--ors."
The Superior court agrees with Judge
Carpenter that Mr. Neuls sued in
vain.
The suit of GIbbs against Sweet is of
10 great moment, as far as the gen
oral welfare of the public is concerned.
3weet Untied In Bassett lake for more
than twenty-one years. The sons of
3lbbs, the owner of this lake, had him
arrested for fishing therein, and he was
fined therefore. He appealed, on the
ground that he had fished in the lake
"or more than twenty-one years and
therefore had acquired what his luwx'er
was pleased to term tho right of pisca
tory by prescription. In other words,
ho wanted to establish that he had a
icmatter's right to the fish In the pond.
Judge Edwards decided that he had

D. W. VAUGHAN CHOSEN.
Was Elected Chairman of Auditing
Committee Unanimously.
The new Joint auditing committee of
'ouncils met last night in the city
.ierk's office for the first time and elect
ed Select Councilman D. W. Vaughan
as chairman without opposition. This
was a splendid compliment to his past
services in this capacity as he Is a
Democrat and the Democrats are hope
lessly in the minority on this commit
tee. The position of chairman as filled bj
Mr. Vaughan last year Is an especially
Important one. The clerk merely rends
the total amount of each bill up for
consideration and If there are no ob
jections the bill is considered approved.
It Is Mr, Vaughan's custom to carefully
scrutinize each bill us It Is passed over
to him by the clerk and If he discovers
anything that doesn't look rjght he
raises his hand and no more bills ure
considered until the particular Item
that has caught his eye Is threshed out.
Last night the committee approved
of nearly $10,000 worth of deficiency
bills provided for In the appropriation
ordinance. These are the bills, the
warrants for which Controller Costello
refused to countersign until approved.
Among the bills passed was one of
$2,067 for services rendered by special
